Über nullstellenfreie Gebiete von ζ(itk) (s)

Let ^(itk) (s) denote thek-th derivative of the Riemann Zeta-function,s=+it, ,t real numbers,k1 rational integers. Using ideas fromT. C. Titchmarsh and from a paper ofR. Spira, lower bounds are derived for |^(itk)(s)|, |^(itk)(1-s) for >1 and some infinitely many, sufficiently large values oft. Further let be an algebraic number of degreen and heightH; then a lower bound for |^(itk)(its)|, dependent onn, H, k is established for alln,H1,k3, 2+7k/4 and all realt.     

Fine Analysis of the Quasi-Orderings on the Power Set

We pursue the fine analysis of the quasi-orderings and on the power set of a quasi-ordering (Q,). We set X Y if every xX is majorized in by some yY, and X Y if every yY is minorized in by some xX. We show that both these quasi-orderings are -wqo if and only if the original quasi-ordering is ( )-wqo. For this holds also restricted to finite subsets, thus providing an example of a finitary operation on quasi-orderings which does not preserve wqo but preserves bqo.     

Приближение функции ограниченнойp-флукту адии полиномами по мульти пликативным система м

A new discrete modulus of continuity is introduced for functions of boundedp-fluctuation, and direct and converse theorems are proved on the approximation of these functions by polynomials with respect to multiplicative systems. Sufficient conditions for the convergence of Fourier series with respect to multiplicative systems are also obtained and these are the best possible in a certain sense.

Symmetry properties of higher spectral densities and nonparametric estimates of them

The symmetry properties of the spectral densitiesf ^(v)() of order v, equal to 4, 5, and 6 of a stationary stochastic process {(k), k Z} are studied. It is established that the fonctionf ^(v)(), R^v–1 is completely determined by its values on a set whose (v– 1)-dimensional volume is ⁴/6, ⁵/15, and ⁵/45 when v is equal to 4, 5, and 6, respectively. Results on the statistical estimation of the spectral densities of orders v equal to 3 and 4 with respect to samples of finite size are also given.Translated from Teoriya Sluchainykh Protsessov, No. 16, pp. 1–4, 1988.

Large-Deviation Local Theorem for Additive Functionals of a Markov Gaussian Field. I

We prove a local limit theorem (LLT) on Cramer-type large deviations for sums S _V = _t V ( _t ), where _t , t Z , 1, is a Markov Gaussian random field, V Z , and is a bounded Borel function. We get an estimate from below for the variance of S _V and construct two classes of functions , for which the LLT of large deviations holds.     

Local Stochastic Channeling Theory: Kinetic Functions in the Case of Interaction Between Fast Particles and Lattice Atoms

We investigate the motion of high-energy particles in a crystal with regard to their interaction with the thermal vibrations of the lattice atoms using analytic methods in the theory of Markov processes including the local Fokker–Planck equation. We construct a local matrix of random actions, which is used to introduce the main kinetic functions in the traverse-energy space, namely, the function a() of energy losses due to the dynamic friction and the diffusion function b(). We show that the singularities of the functions a() and b() are related to the distinction between the contributions to the kinetics from particles moving in three different regimes, namely, in the channeling, quasichanneling, and chaotic motion modes.     

Jensen inequalities for functions with higher monotonicities

Summary We investigate generalizations of the classical Jensen and Chebyshev inequalities. On one hand, we restrict the class of functions and on the other we enlarge the class of measures which are allowed. As an example, consider the inequality (J)(f(x) d) A (f(x) d, d d = 1. Iff is an arbitrary nonnegativeL _x function, this holds if 0, is convex andA = 1. Iff is monotone the measure need not be positive for (J) to hold for all convex withA = 1. If has higher monotonicity, e.g., is also convex, then we get a version of (J) withA < 1 and measures that need not be positive.     

Delaunay Transformations of a Delaunay Polytope

Let P be a Delaunay polytope in ⁿ . Let T(P) denote the set of affine bijections f of ⁿ for which f (P) is again a Delaunay polytope. The relation: fg if f, g differ by an orthogonal transformation and/or a translation is an equivalence relation on T(P). We show that the dimension (in the topological sense) of the quotient set T(P)/ coincides with another parameter of P, namely, with its rank.Let V denote the set of vertices of P and let dp denote the distance on V defined by dp(u, v)=u–v ² for u, vV. Assouad [1] shows that dp belongs to the cone |V|:={d | _u,vV b _u b _v d(u,v) 0 for b ^V with _uV b _u = 1}. Then, the rank of P is defined as the dimension of the smallest face of the cone |V| that contains dp. AMS Subject Classification (1991): 11H06, 52C07.     

Local theorems for some statistics of integer-valued sequences

Let Js={j₁, ..., j_s} be a collection of nonnegative numbers, j₁+...+j_s=n, j_s1, R(Js) be the set of sequencesf=(f(1), ...,f(n)) in each of which the integer m occurs j_s times. Randomly and equiprobably one chooses a sequence f from R(Js). Let _n,r be the number of r-drops in f; _n be the r-principal index off. Local limit theorems are established in this paper for the random variables _n,r and _n as n .Translated from Teoriya Sluchainykh Protsessov, No. 16, pp. 61–66, 1988.     

γ-Subdifferential and γ-convexity of functions on a normed space

In this paper, the -subdifferential is introduced for investigating the global behavior of real-valued functions on a normed spaceX. Iff: DX attains its global minimum onD atx ^*, then 0 f(x ^*). This necessary condition always holds, even iff is not continuous orx ^* is at the boundary of its domain. Nevertheless, it is useful because, by choosing a suitable ₊, many local minima cannot satisfy this necessary condition. For the sufficient conditions, the so-called -convex functions are defined. The class of these functions is rather large. For example, every periodic function on the real line is a -convex function. There are -convex functions which are not continuous everywhere. Every function of bounded variation can be represented as the difference of two -convex functions. For all that, -convex functions still have properties similar to those of convex functions. For instance, each -local minimizer off is at the same time a global one. Iff attains its global minimum onD, then it does so at least at one point of its -boundary.This research was supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The author thanks Professors R. Bulirsch, K. H. Hoffmann, and H. G. Bock for inviting him to Munich and Augsburg where this research was done.     

Proof of two conjectures of H. Brezis and L.A. Peletier

In this paper, we consider the problem: –u=N(N–2)u ^p– , u>0 on ; u=0 on , where is a smooth and bounded domain inR ^N, N3, p= , and >0. We prove a conjecture of H. Brezis and L.A. Peletier about the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of this problem which are minimizing for the Sobolev inequality as goes to zero. We give similar results concerning the related problem: –u=N(N–2)u^p+u, u>0 on ; u=0 on , for N is larger than 4.     

Markov traces on universal Jones algebras and subfactors of finite index

We construct one parameter families of inclusions of nonhyperfinite type II₁ factorsN ^s M ^s , with trivial relative commutant (N ^s )M ^s = and with the Jones' index [M ^s N ^s ]=s ranging over the sets{4 cos²/n|n4}[4, ), by using Markov traces on certain universal algebras associated to a given algebra and to the Jones' sequence of projections. This solves the problem of finding all possible values of indices of subfactors with trivial relative commutant in arbitrary type II₁ factors, by showing that any numbers>4 can occur.This work was partially supported by an NSF grant DMS-8908281     

Systèmes de sortie ℱ Dt prévisibles

Summary Given a random closed setM, adapted to a filtration ( _t ), we construct a local time ofM which is both ( _t ) adapted and ( _Dt ) predictable, whereD _t =inf{s>t: sM}. Similarly an exit system, both ( _t ) optional and ( _Dt ) predictable, is associated withM and with the process representing the future at each timet. The paper is motivated by the markovian case, where the general results are applied to Ray processes.

Über den algorithmischen Nachweis von Ungleichungen I

We shall develop a method to prove inequalities in a unified manner. The idea is as follows: It is quite often possible to find a continuous functional : ⁿ , such that the left- and the right-hand side of a given inequality can be written in the form (u)(v) for suitable points,v=v(u). If one now constructs a map ^{n n} , which is functional increasing (i.e. for each x ⁿ (which is not a fixed point of ) the inequality (x)<((x)) should hold) one specially gets the chain (u)( u))( ²(u))... ⁿ (u)). Under quite general conditions one finds that the sequence { ⁿ (u)} _n converges tov=v(u). As a consequence one obtains the inequality (u)(v).     

Mittelwert der Eulerschen φ-Funktion und des Quadrates der Dirichletschen Teilerfunktion in algebraischen Zahlkörpern

LetK be an algebraic number field, and for every integer K let () andd(), respectively, denote the number of relatively prime residue classes and the number of divisors of the principal ideal (). Asymptotic equalities are proved for the sums () and d ²(), where runs through certain finite sets of integers ofK.     

Explicit Rational Functions on Fermat Curves and a Theorem of Greenberg

This paper is concerned with the arithmetic of curves of the form v^p=u^s(1-u), where p is a prime with p 5 and s is an integer such that 1 s p-2. The Jacobians of these curves admit complex multiplication by a primitive p-th root of unity . We find explicit rational functions on these curves whose divisors are p-multiples of divisors representing (1-)² - and (1-)³-division points on the corresponding Jacobians. This also gives an effective version of a theorem of Greenberg.     

Nonlinear time-domain models of human controllers

Data from a compensatory tracking task are analyzed by using time-domain models. The linear time-domain results are transformed and compared with frequency-domain results. The nonlinear time-domain model of the same data reduced the remnant or residual power by only a small amount. The need for testing models on independent data is discussed. A novel, but attractive, method of generating functions for an efficient functional expansion of time-domain models is offered.Notation c Pilot output (control deflection), inches - E Error matrix - e Error, radians - F[·] Fourier transform - h Time interval, seconds - h _i Sample of impulse response of pilot - h _p Impulse response of pilot, inches/radian or inches/degree - i Input (external disturbance function), radians - M Maximum value ofm, M=T _M/ - m Index for the argument ofh _p - N Maximum value ofn - n Index for time - o Linear output of pilot model (control deflection), inches - r Remnant signal of pilot model (control deflection), inches - S Matrix - s Laplace variable - T _M Maximum memory time of the pilot model, seconds - t Time, seconds - Y _c Transfer function of controlled element - Y _c j) Controlled-element transfer function, radians/inch - Y _p j) Pilot-describing function, inches/radian - Argument ofh _p, seconds - Incremental value of, seconds - Frequency, radians/second - ^ Estimate - Absolute value - Phase angle
